Ayu Schedule #3 - TV Appearances, Magazines, etc.

^ Well basically every event is an invitation event. If they want you there, they will send the invite - doesn't mean that artist will actually accept though. For instance B'z and Mr. Children aren't going to be on FNS, but I'm sure they got invited. And then there are newer acts that I'm sure the record companies beg to have on the show, like Girl Next Door for example. (no offense meant against them) But obviously FNS isn't necessarily going to care whether they are there or not, but the record company for sure does for promotion.

It's most likely that Ayu declined her invitation because I'm not sure why they wouldn't want her there. I don't think she declined because its too early for promo though - as mentioned, she hasn't always performed her latest single at FNS anyways.
It's possible they just don't want her, but it would have to be for some behind the scenes reason we don't know about.

I really do think she declined her invitation, because there are some artists who I have no idea why they got invited instead of her, so I think for reasons we don't know, she has not been invited.

Or maybe the rumor from last year was a bit true, and some companies still don't like the fact she cancelled Music Station at the last minute??? I don't know...

Or maybe there will be a last minute addition. I am hoping w w.

Agreed, Ayu and SMAP were closing the show for years, regardless of the fact they had hits that year or not It's a shame she declined if she was invited though ^^
